I guess I miss your point here. Bridge is just an image browser, not an image editor. What good is histogram in a browser?

You can't do anything to the image in Bridge to alter the histogram, so what would you use it for?

Not trying to argue at all, I just want to understand your point. Do you decide whether to open the image in an image editor like Photoshop or ACR based on a histogram? I guess I'm just having a mental block right now.

yes sometimes an image can look fine but the histograms shows that the black and white points are not set.sometimes it´s hard to see clipping on small thumbail views. clipping in just one channel is also hard to see without an histogram.

you can´t change f-stop or shutter speed in an image viewer yet the info is displayed by most.

for some that info means nothing for others it´s a vital image informations.
